SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 515,360, dated February27, 1894.

.Application filed March 31,1893. Serial No. 4631528- (NO model.)

It consists essentially of a ring fixed upon and longitudinally movablealong an arm, upon which the cooking vessel or frying pan is put.

In the annexed drawings Figure l, is an elevation of the invention. Fig.2, is a rear view of the supporting cylinder and tube; Figs. 3, 4 and 5detail views of various parts; Fig. 6, an elevation of a modification.Fig. 7, is a detail view. Figs. S and 9, show Views of a modification;Figs. 10, 1l and 12 views ot' another modiication. Fig. 13, is a plan ofthe support for the vessel.

In the drawings o. represents the support for the cooking vessel in theshape of a horizontal ring. This ring is iixed to a vertical rod or tubecby an arm b. The arm is xed to the lower part of the tube c. The tube cis located in a vertical cylinder d provided with a longitudinal slit atthe point e Fig. 2 through which the arm b projects. The tube cterminates at the top in a knobfthat serves as a handle by means ofwhich said tube is easily moved. In order to fix the tube c at arequired height in the cylinder d a row of openings g have been disposedat a certain distance, one above the other in the tube c and thecylinder d, is perforated' at the point h. A pin 1I is passed throughthe opening of the cylinder d and one of the openings g of the tube c.Instead of being pushed through the cylinder the pin vl can be pushedthrough an opening g of the tube c over the top of said cylinder; thepin fi rests then upon the top edge of the cylinder d. The cylinder d issolid at the bottom or it is provided with a plug soldered into it. Thispart of the plug carries a screw k upon which is screwed an arm Z. Thearm extends parallel or at least almost parallel with the arm b and inthe same direction as the latter and is round for the greatest part ofits length toward its free end. A cylinder m is pushed over the roundpart; it carries a longitudinal slit below, Fig.

3, which does not reach entirelyv to the eX- tremity of saidcylinder. Around headed screw ois screwed into partof the arm Zinside of thecylinder d which, when loose allows the arm Z and the cylinder to bedisconnected, but when screwed tight keeps the same in the position inwhich they have been put. The extremity ot' the cylinder m at the freeend of the arm Zis solid and provided with a screw p the diameter, thethread and the length of which correspond with that of the screw lo ofthe cylinder d. A forked piece q Figs. l

and 4 is screwed upon the screw p which catches around the gas bracket rby means of its fork. The fixing of the forked piece q to the gasbracket r is caused by a block S Fig. 4, that is forced between theteeth of the fork and is pressed against the gas bracket by screwing thenut t upon theoutside fillet of the teeth of the fork. The block s isprovided With projecting flanges at the top and at the bottom that catchover the teeth and prevent it falling down when the nut t is loosened.Fig. 4 shows a horizontal section through the forked piece q, the gasbracket r, the block s and the screw nut t, while Fig. 5 shows a faceview of these. The forked piece q and the cylinder m can be fixedpermanently to the gas bracket. When the gas bracket runs horizontallyas in Fig. 6, the lower arm Z and the cylinder m are removed from theapparatus shown in Fig. l, and the cylinder d is screwed directly intothe screw of the forked piece q fixed to the gas bracket by means of itsscrew k. In order that the cylinder ol may be ixed to a wall, two earso, Figs. l and 2, are provided, one of them at the top and the other atthe bottom. Those two ears are either both ixed to the cylinder or onlythe upper ear is fixed and the lower is disposed so that it can beseparated from said cylinder, for the purpose described below. In thelatter case the lower ear carries a screw w, in its middle, Figs. l and7, which is screwed into the lower solid part of the cylinder d.

Fig. 8, shows the cylinder d Iixed to a wall by means of ears o andscrews oc. In the form of construction represented in this figure thecylinder d is not provided with the longitudinal slit e (Fig. 2) as inthis case the carry- IOC ing arm b of the ring a branches o from theupper end of the tube c movable in the cylinder d and in this case thepart c may be a rod. The ring thus supported can revolve in the cylinderd. In order to fix the ring to the cylinder d after adjustment, saidcylinder is provided with several radial holes Fig. 9 of which two arealways opposite and the pin 1'- passes through one of the openings g ofthe tube c. It is also possible to dispose radial notches in the upperedge of the cylinder d instead of the radial holes. The guiding cylindercan also be replaced by two guiding rings ixcd to the wall. Figs. 10, lland l2 illustrate this form of construction. d is the upper, d2thelowerguiding ring. The lower has radial holes forthepurposedescribed; c' is the pin.A The guiding ring d2 is connected with a platev, that serves to fix the ring to thewall. The plate o is either fixedpermanently to the ring (igor can be separated from the same.

Fig. 13 shows a plan of the ring a, it projects fay little above itscarrier b, Fig. 8, and hasthree radial ribs a which can either extendinside and outside of the ring as represented inthe drawings, but onlyfrom the periphery of the ring. The upper surface of the ring and of theribs is rough so that the kitchen utensils can rest steadily upon them.

I claim-,-` l. In combination, the support a, for the cooking vessel,the rod c carrying the same, the support d) for the rod, the adjustableconnectlon between the rod and its support, the yoke connectioncomprising the externally screw threaded fork q adapted to embrace thegas jet, and the nut adapted to the external threads of the yoke, thesaid yoke being connected to the support d, substantially as described.

, 2. In combination, the supporting ring, the rod carrying the same, thesupport d for the rod, having a screw threaded projection lc the yokeadapted to the gas jet, the nut adapted to the external threads on theyoke said yoke having a screw threaded socket and the removableconnection Z, m between the yoke and the support d having a screwthreadedl projection p adapted tothe socket in the yoke and of the samesizev as theprojection 71 substantially as described.

3. In combination, the supporting ring ce,

the rod c carrying the sameI the support dfor the rod, the yoke forconnecting saidsupport with the gas jet comprising the fork qrha'vingexternal'sc'rew threads, the, nut ty engaging the same and the block sinterposedbetween the nut and the, gasjetutube, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof- I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
